Nah.......

I want to pass it down..whether or not they decide they wear it.

I wish my Mom would have had hers...it may not have been my style..but I could have altered it..or used fabric from it.

So I want to have my own for my daugthers

Re: Would you ever consider renting....

Aren't most rental gowns really ugly and over used?

Re: Would you ever consider renting....

I'd definitely consider it, but wearing clothes that complete strangers have worn kind of skeeves me out (I'm so not a fan of renting ice-skates, for example. Ew. And bowling shoes).

I'm also considering donating my dress after the wedding anyway, so I guess I'm not so attached to hanging onto it.

My girlfriend did it. She loved the idea.

Her dress was beautiful.

Re: Would you ever consider renting....

No I want to own my gown and have it as a keepsake and in case my daughters would ever want to wear it I want that option.

FH's friends wife did it and her dress was gorgeous you would have never known, but it's just not for me.

Re: Would you ever consider renting....

Absolutely not. It's just not for me. If I ever have a daughter, I'd like to give it to her, or even perhaps my grandchild. It will have such a sentimental value, that renting one to me would be a waste of money, and not have a special meaning behind it. Good question though Cee!!!

How much does it cost to rent a bridal gown?

Re: Would you ever consider renting....

Its weird, In Greece the norm is to rent a dress and buying it is just way too expensive. For renting it, it cost them just ask much as it costs us to buy one here. About 2K. crazy

Re: Would you ever consider renting....

If money was an issue or if I found the perfect dress that was rentable in good shape I would consider it. My god mother is buying my dress so I want to get my own.

Re: Would you ever consider renting....

I can say I am not renting but I am not nor will I spend 2K on a dress I am going to wear once...maybe if I love it and it was covered in gold-but for me I just cant spend that much!

Re: Would you ever consider renting....

funny thing is i was playing around with the idea .... i mean you just wear it once .. i don't know how much it is to rent so i am not sure yet as to my final decision .... i will def checkout renting tough as i will look at buying ...
